Here Comes the Storm

So, St. Louis is about to get pounded by some pretty bad storms. They've already been reporting some nice sized hail about 30 miles northwest of here and I suspect we're going to get the same any moment now. I went to work extremely early today just so I could make sure that I wouldn't be caught out in it, and I'm glad I did. The rain just started pouring down.

In other news, plans on my wedding are stalled a bit while I wait for a co-worker of my fiance, who is also an ordained minister, to get back to me. It's actually been over a week since he got my name and e-mail address from my fiance and sent out an initial e-mail. I responded back asking him some basic questions about how he conducts weddings, and have yet to get a response from him. It's frustrating and making me think it may be better just to get married at a courthouse. The problem is that the courthouse where we would like to be married only perform weddings once a month and I won't know until June when they will be doing August weddings. It leaves little time to really plan, not that I was going to have a big wedding anyways.

Otherwise, work is the same. I'm working on creating more of those animated training videos for the students, and they've been going over pretty well. My boss and I are also in the process of creating a survey for students to see about setting up a location nearer to the dorms where students can pick up books they have requested. We're going to see which days and which times of day (in 3 hour blocks) are the most popular, and whether this service will be worth doing or not. Assessment is always fun! We even have a couple of our own student assistants who are helping with the effort. Another work experience I can put on the old resume!

Last, but not least, Saturday at Wizard Con is coming up and I'm still very excited to see this guy!
